hmm... today's a nice day. Went to church without tying my hair properly. -.-
Had to tie it again after worship. But i dunno why, today it looked so ...
weird.
hmmmm, must be another one of those Bad Hair Days. hahahahahas.
Anyway, for fellowship, we celebrated Pastor Tay's and ShuQiao's birthday.
ShuQiao finally came today! Just came back from HongKong, according to
her. hmph! no fair! I wanna go too! Speaking of which, I'll be going back this
THURSDAY!!!! WOOHOO! So excited! But i feel kinda bad for my dad. He
has to stay in sg cuz he's the mc for the Christmas Service. :( But whatever,
it's not so bad anyway... Although he'll miss all the fun!!!! aww......................
okok, back to topic. So.. today we played games. It was relatively fun.
However, not as fun as i thought it could have been. But at least we allll had
a good laugh! hahaha. It's so fun to play together and have fun, isn't it? XDD
ANDand the fooood was
GREAT I tell you! I love the fan si (pronounced in
cantonese) Aunt Chui made. AND the potato salad Kristina made. hahahas.
I felt sooo contented! THANK YA'LL!! to Aunt Chui (kumsa humnida!!!!!!!)
So... We went to eat, after church. Only our family this time. The rest of them
are either already in HK or just went home. Anyway, i didn't have much of an
appetite for lunch cuz i really ate too much during fellowship, so I just waited for
Mum and Dad to finish their lunch. OMG! They took freeeeaaakin looooooong!
Arghh! But I used that time to think about the design and everything for the
Titus Fellowship notice board. And I got them all settled! YAY! heeheeeeeeeee.
And after that, we went home. When we got outta the lift, there was this really
really old lady, with the hunched back and white hair and all... She was
walking towards us. She spoke in teochew. And because Dad got out of the lift
first, the lady kept blabbing on in front of him. But if you don't know, Dad
barely understands teochew. The lady looked very desperate and worried.
But my Dad couldn't understand a word she was saying. So Mum went to see
what the matter was about. And soon, we found out from Mum that the old
lady was looking for his son who, had white hair, had just been released from
the hospital and was holding a walking stick. (according to the lady).....
She was looking for her son who had gone to dunno-what floor to visit a friend.
His mobile was off. And fearing that he'll hurt himself, his mother had gone
from floor to floor to look for him, just to see if he's alright. so at last, Mum told
her to go back home and wait for him. okay, we all felt kinda sorry for the old
lady, but no one said anything much... until...at night.
I couldn't breathe properly again. And i don't even have the slightest idea why.
but anyway, i was lying on my parents' bed, trying to calm down and all when
Dad came and lay down too. He wanted to divert my attention so that I won't
realise how little air i was taking in. He asked me if I'd felt anything about that
old lady we'd seen this afternoon. I said yeah, it's kinda sad and i kinda pity her
and all... Then he said, " you know what? I felt something. I think that the old
lady really really cared for his son. She had a hunched back and had difficulty
walking
herself and she was still going to every single floor trying to have the
luck to find her son, even if it made her tired and all. By the look of her, she
should be pretty old already, even her son had white hair! I'm very touched by
what she did. The unconditional love she had for her son..."
Then i was like sooo stunned. I didn't realise that my dad was capable of such
subtle feelings. I know. I know. He gets kinda sad what our fishes die but that
didn't hit me as hard as this one. He cared. He truly cared. That really shows me
that he's quite an emo person. like REALLY emo. But that's good i guess..........
He's "full o'th milk of human kindness" (quote from Macbeth). And as I processed
his words in my mind, i felt that he was right. VERY right indeed. That was the
love people should give to each other..
to love one another as yourself. If
everybody loves everybody else, the world would be a much better place.
(forgive me for sounding cliche) Anyway, isn't it great to have World Peace?!?!?
It's my wish! and I genuinely hope it'll come true... o_O
